uncool2pillow Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Don't bother.I've bothered, but not at any expense to myself. It's on reserve for me at my local public library. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CortezTheKiller Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I took the idea and ran with it over on ninebullets.org (DBT's maessage board). The Top 50 looked like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I took the idea and ran with it over on ninebullets.org (DBT's maessage board). The Top 50 looked like this. Not too shabby. No Wilco in the top 50 though? Looked like Son Volt, Radiohead, Bruce, Neil and DBT were the only active bands on that list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littlebear Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think Neutral Milk Hotel is worth it. I've listened to the second album, and it's arguably one of the best indie records of the 90's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think Neutral Milk Hotel is worth it. I've listened to the second album, and it's arguably one of the best indie records of the 90's. Most people seem to either love it or hate it.I am in the "love it" camp -- one of the most-moving listening experiences ever.Not sure what the lyrics actually mean, but I can feel every damn bit of it. (and yeah, here comes the smartass comment about how his voice makes somebody feel pain or something...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Aeroplane is one of my favorite albums of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Picking it up from the library in a few minutes. We shall see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It's good. IMO (base upon initial listening) good, but not great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It'll either hit you like a ton of a bricks about a month from now or you'll forget about it. But do give it another chance in a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 In my opinion, if he thinks it's good on the first spin, he'll think it's great in a few days. That's how it happened for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I felt almost nothing to it the first few times I listened to it. But then when I went back a few weeks later, it just blew me away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Mine: 01 Boards of Canada - Geogaddi 02 The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses03 Faust - Faust IV 04 David Bowie - Low05 Brian Eno - Another Green World 06 The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers 07 Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children 08 Spiritualized - Pure Phase 09 Beach Boys - Holland10 Neu! - Neu 75 11 Brian Eno - Music For Airports 12 Led Zeppelin - II 13 Nick Drake - Bryter Layter14 Wilco - A Ghost Is Born 15 My Bloody Valentine - Loveless16 Panda Bear - Person Pitch 17 Kraftwerk - Autobahn 18 Fairport Convention - What We Did on Our Holidays 19 David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars20 John Cale - Paris 1919 Nine out of twenty I guess isn't too bad. The fact that there were no Byrds albums and only one Led Zeppelin effort on the list came as a bit of a surprise to me. I would've expected at least one from the former and far more from the latter.

Oil Can Boyd Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I felt almost nothing to it the first few times I listened to it. But then when I went back a few weeks later, it just blew me away.That's what happened with me. Didn't do much for me after a few listens. One day I found myself humming something from it (King of Carrot Flowers, maybe) so I put it on and loved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusetc84 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 For better or worse absolutely no surprises on the list... I of course disagree with a lot of it (Let it Be higher than Astral Weeks is fucking ridiculous) but whatever. This is the VC, I know what music tastes tend towards, and tend against, and really not a single album on there surprises me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusetc84 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Seems low. I'd be sad if we lived in a world that I could only find 29 records I like better than Let it Be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 really not a single album on there surprises me. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of Sam Cooke's Harlem Square Club (a classic, yes, but often forgotten on these kind of lists). And I'd never heard of The Wrens before.

And I'd never heard of The Wrens before. True, Sam Cooke love is ALWAYS good. The Wrens is heh...meh...kind of generic power pop to my ears; some people on the site really love it though. I was also not surprised by the exclusion of classics like Sign o The Times, Hunky Dory, Nevermind, Funhouse, and basically anything that didn't hit sort of VC protocol.

Sir Stewart Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was also not surprised by the exclusion of classics like Sign o The Times, Hunky Dory, Nevermind, Funhouse, and basically anything that didn't hit sort of VC protocol. Yeah, that memo gogo sent around warning us that votes for any of those albums would result in immediate tazing worked surprisingly well.VC PROTOCOL 4 LIFE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
